let there be light
It's been a long time since I have wanted to write anything for a blog. A changing world, challenges in life and demanding 10 month project has somewhat taking its toll ending in actually catching Covid in October on my 49th birthday. How's that for the opening paragraph. To be honest the camera hasn't stopped... Continue Reading →
I have this love/hate relationship with the Cat. She's very demanding and it seems whatever food we get her, isn't the right one, flavour or colour. You will know this obviously.... Having a cat is really odd. When they want hugs you don't. When you want hugs, they're ready to do you harm.... Buy the... Continue Reading →
I've spent the night posting landscape photography and scrolling through all my street photography. Most of these I will have posted somewhere before but lost count of where and when. Love them or hate them, to me these are brilliant. It a great genre of photography, taking a chance and deleting many to get that... Continue Reading →
As I write this I am sat in the kitchen having a beer after a really hectic morning. A 5am early start as I wanted to try out my new Fujifilm xa-5 on the city lights and then the dreaded shopping in Leeds followed by the big food shop at the supermarket. We call it... Continue Reading →
Every now and then, I venture into the city centre on a Saturday out of necessity. It gets a little mad in Leeds with the drug addicts walking around like zombies on spice and the homeless in the doorways trying to survive. You could get stopped by anyone touting some doctrine or other too. It... Continue Reading →
This weekend was an early start in the back fields where I live. Wanting to try out a new wide angle lens bought for doing some night photography. It started out dark and at 6am, I was taking shots of the city lights and the mist. By 7am I was stood in the middle of... Continue Reading →
We've had our at about 15 years and she has been a pleasure and a pain. Just like any child would be. I remember picking her up from a rescue centre all those years ago. Love her to bits though. ©Lucas Thompson-Murphy
Having a bank holiday weekend means an extra day to do nothing. Monday is a free day. After four hours sleep I have managed to edit some photos from last night. To be honest I was trying to get a good shot of the Milky way but couldn't get one so ventured out to the... Continue Reading →
Well today started at 6am as any other workday, but the business was to drive my wife to work and then walk out on the farm trails to capture anything interesting. I'm quite lucky where I live is on the outskirts of a major city on a hill. I set off by 7am and walked... Continue Reading →
I take a lot of photos of graveyards and places of worship. Sometimes I may even seem a little irreverent to it, but it's really not so. I've seen many and read all the gravestone inscriptions and walk carefully with respect for the place I enter. Having said that, I have no time for doctrine... Continue Reading →
